FOREWORD 

I 

The Patriotic Selective Saving Problem has de- 
termined the choice of recipes compiled in this book. 

"Conservation Recipes" is a war-time supple- 
ment to the ordinary cook book and is designed to 
aid the housewife in keeping the Food Pledge.

"Eat Plenty— Eat Wisely— 
But Without Waste. " ] 

\ 

"If we can reduce our average consumption per 
person, 1 pound of flour (4 cups sifted), 2 ounces fat 
(lyi tblsp. butter, lard) 7 ounces of sugar (14 tblsp.) 
and 7 ounces of meat (beef, pork, mutton) per week, 
and if we use our milk and butter carefully and 
without waste, we can maintain our own people on 
a full diet and can still supply the deficiency in our 
Allies' food, for when these apparently small indivi- 
dual savings are multiplied by 100,000,000 every 
week, they assume gigantic proportions and offer 
a complete solution of our problem. 

"FOOD ADMINISTRATION." 

This is the minimum amount for each person to 
save and it remains for the patriotic to assume the 
responsibility of saving more to make up the defici- 
ency of those who fail to do their share.

SOUPS CONSERVATION RECIPES 

SOUPS 

Mrs. N. C. Robson, Editor. 

All kinds of left over meats can be utilized in making soup 
stock, and an average sized family should always be able to 
have a supply without buying fresh meat. 

Clear soups have very little nutritive value, but are useful 
as an aid to digestion. 

Appetizing soups can be made from left over vegetables, 
and the water in which other vegetables have been cooked, 
and seasoned with tomato, onion, celery, okra, parsley, thyme. 

To color soups brown use caramel, browned flour, onions 
fried brown, kitchen bouquet or beef extract. 

Stock made without bone or gristle will not jelly. 

Thickenings are made with either white, barley or potato 
flour, cornstarch or rolled cracker. 

The meat which is left after cooking retains the nutritive 
qualities, but must be made palatable by other seasoning as 
the juices have gone into the soup stock. 

Save all gravies for your soup kettle. 

Vegetable soups can be made without milk or meat, and a 
rich flavor imparted by using browned flour thickening. 
Broken scraps of bone which have been browned may be 
simmered in the vegetable water for additional flavoring. 

Instead of draining asparagus, squash, carrots, corn, pota- 
toes, parsnips, turnips, cabbage, celery, cauliflower, onions, 
peas or beans into the sink, drain into a bowl and every 
second day make resulting mixture into clear soup. Add wa- 
ter, milk — or both if you have it — a little rice, crackers, cooked 
barley or tapioca, croutons or noodles. Add the water from 
macaroni, rice or noodles to make thick soup. Press the left 
over vegetables through a colander and add to the clear veg- 
etable stock. Serve with small cubes of fried toast. 

Vegetables when used raw as a seasoning give a strong 
flavor, and only a little of each should be used. For flavoring 
soups, sauces, stews, etc., fried vegetables are far superior to 
the raw. 

To prepare them for use, clean and peel or scrape the veg- 
etables, then cut them into small pieces and put in a saucepan 
with butter substitute or sweet fat, allowing two generous 
tablespoonfuls of fat to a pint of vegetables. Place on the

stove and stir until the vegetables become hot. Partially 
cover the saucepan and cook slowly for half an hour, stirring 
frequently the contents until the fat begins to separate from 
the vegetables. Drain and save the fat for future use. Add 
the vegetables to the dish they are to flavor. 

Many soups are served with croutons. These are lightly 
buttered slices of bread, cut in cubes, and browned in a fry- 
ing pan.

SOUPS • CONSERVATION RECIPES 

MILK SOUP •* •* «* * 

1 pt. water. 2 tblsp. butter. 

1 pt. milk. 1 small onion. 

2 cups of any kind of vegetable. Salt and pepper. 

2 tblsp. flour or cornstarch. 

Milk soups are both appetizing and nutritious. The basis 
of all is milk, thickened and seasoned by the addition of veg- 
etables boiled, and pressed through a sieve. 

An average milk soup with thickening of flour, cornstarch, 
potato starch, barley flour or arrow root and vegetable pulp 
should be of the consistency of cream. 

More of the pulp of the vegetable put through a coarse 
sieve, with a little water or milk makes a paste which is called 
a puree. 

Chowder contains fish, pork, potatoes and sometimes other 
vegetables, with a foundation of milk. 

Left over vegetables that have been cooked in white cream 
sauce or mashed potato with a little onion may easily be made 
into a good soup by adding some skim milk. 

Mrs. N. C. Robson.

CONSERVATION RECIPES SALADS 

SALADS 

Mrs. F. C. Torrey, Editor. 

GENERAL SUGGESTIONS 

All fish and meat salads are improved by marinating. 

A good oil for salad is made from equal proportions of olive 
oil and corn or cottonseed oil. 

The secret of good French dressing is making a thorough 
emulsion of the oil and vinegar. 

French dressing is much improved by the addition of a 
little Roquefort cheese, thoroughly incorporated. 

When mayonnaise curdles, put a tablespoon of cold water 
in a clean bowl and add mayonnaise very gradually. 

Mayonnaise sometimes curdles because the oil is too cold. 
Oil should be warmed by standing in hot water. 

Grated cucumber added to mayonnaise greatly improves it. 

Never mix mayonnaise with meat or fish until ready to 
serve. Use the greater part to spread over the top. 

A clove of garlic left in the vinegar bottle gives a good 
flavor. 

Tarragon leaves added to cider vinegar and left for twenty 
days produces a superior vinegar for salad. 

Vinegar is improved by boiling a few minutes with a little 
brown sugar. 

Paprika should be spread in the sun three days to bring 
out its true flavor. 

Whole pepper ground in a small hand mill gives a pung- 
ency wholly lacking in commercial pepper. 

Lettuce can be quickly dried without bruising by using 
paper toweling. 

Mix canned or cooked left over vegetables with French 
dressing and set in a cold place for one hour. If several kinds 
are used combine just before serving.

POULTRY CONSERVATION RECIPES 

POULTRY AND GAME 

Mrs. Tomse M. Shearman. 

CONSERVATION HINTS 

When boiling fowl or game, the fats which form on top, 
can be skimmed and used for shortening. 

After the meat has been sliced from roast chicken or tur- 
key the bones may be boiled and every particle of meat re- 
moved. Use the liquor for soup, with chopped vegetables or 
rice, and the meat minced and served on toast, with any pre- 
ferred sauce. 

Corn meal mush or corn bread may be toasted and used in 
place of bread when serving fowl, meat or fish. 

STUFFINGS 

Use stale bread crumbs, cracker crumbs, corn bread, gra- 
ham bread, corn flakes or other cereals, potatoes, hominy. 

LIQUID — Moisten with milk or water, but the liquid in 
which the feet and bones of the fowl have been cooked is 
preferable. A little of the giblet stew may be added. 

Ask to have the feet of the fowl delivered with the fowl. 

Cover bones, skin, trimmings, feet or giblets with cold 
water. Add a tablespoon each of carrot, onion and celery or 
parsley for each pint of water. Let simmer an hour or so. 
Strain and use for stuffing or for soup foundation. 

FAT — Grind the fat of the fowl used, or try it out. This is 
more desirable than butter as it helps to extend the flavor of 
the meat used through the stuffing. Use this fat also for 
basting. (A small piece of suet or fat salt pork may be used 
for lean meat like hare or rabbit). 

SEASONINGS — Salt, pepper, summer savory, sage, 
thyme, minced parsley, chopped celery, ground onion, etc., 
may be used. 

EXTRAS — Drained oysters, giblets, mushrooms, raisins 
or currants, chestnuts, chopped walnuts or peanuts, a dozen 
or so cranberries or sour apple cut up, olives, whole or minced, 
afford variety.

cold liquid over it. (Hot liquid makes it heavy). Let it 
stand only a minute. Take up a handful at a time, squeeze it 
hard and dry and place in another dish. Toss it up lightly 
through the fingers. Add fat from the fowl, put through a 
meat grinder or tried out. Add a beaten egg or not as desired. 
Season with 1 teaspoon each salt, pepper, powdered summer 
savory, sage or green herb or parsley minced fine. Work 
all together. 

Note : Any of the above foundations may be substituted 
for the whole or a part of the bread. 

OYSTER STUFFING <* <* <* <*

Mrs. Wm. E. Colby, Editor. 

CONSER VA TION HINTS 

The editor wishes to acknowlede her indebtedness to Mr. 
Grondona of San Francisco, for the information as to local 
fish. 

An increased use of fish, fresh, salted or smoked, is desir- 
able. "Such use not only conserves meat, but whereas cat- 
tle and poultry merely convert, for the most part, one avail- 
able form of food into another, fishes consume animal and 
vegetable forms unavailable and useless as food for man." 

"Fish are often looked upon as not being meat. There is 
no characteristic difference between fish flesh and the flesh of 
any other animal. The bulk of it is protein and water. Pound 
for pound there is nearly, if not quite, as much protein in fish 
meat as in beefsteak. Fish could be substituted for all other 
kinds of meat every day in the year without ill effects. Oily 
fish, like shad, herring, and eels, are especially nutritious, af- 
fording a large quantity of fat for fuel as well as the tissue- 
building proteins. Fish roe generally contains more protein 
than beef, and some fat in addition. Fish meat is quite as 
easily digested (i. e., as large a proportion in as short a time) 
as other forms of meat. It has been recommended as being a 
highly suitable form of protein for sedentary workers." — 
Government Bulletins. 

Too much stress cannot be laid on the advisability of using 
our cheaper fish, as sole, Rex sole, sand dabs, hake, rock and 
black cod and skate. Hake or skate can be substituted for 
halibut, salmon or crab in any of the made dishes and are very 
delicate. 

They have this advantage over halibut. They are 
freshly caught in local waters while the halibut that we get 
is from three to four weeks old. 

Halibut and salmon may be canned and therefore we should 
use them sparingly. 

The small periodic consumption of fish is largely respon- 
sible for the prevailing high prices in this vicinity. A steady, 
increased demand for fish, six days in the week, soon would 
cause a lowering of most of the prices. The fisheries of the 
United States offer large possibilities for increased food pro-

duction if the people can be induced to eat more fish, especially 
the kinds that have hitherto not been on the market. 

REMEMBER — Salt gives flavor to the fish. Lemon juice 
or vinegar keep the flesh of a boiling fish firm. Cucumbers, 
cold slaw, or a green salad, and potatoes or rice, should ac- 
company fish dishes. This is especially true of those species 
rich in fat, as the Sable fish, or black cod. Fish should always 
be boiled, broiled or baked. Frying renders the fish tasteless.

a new fish, with a firm flesh, white and flaky. It has a full 
rich flavor, while the fats are almost gelatinous in their con- 
sistency. There is little waste, as it is almost free from bone 
and requires but a short time for cooking. It is very accept- 
able if simply split and broiled.

SHELL FISH 

TO PREPARE CLAMS <* <# J* <* 

Clams bought in the market vary from the small white clam 
found in Tomales Bay to the large Pismo Beach clam. They 
are not only a meat substitute, but very delicate in flavor and 
a welcome variation for the diet. 

If one digs the clams oneself it is well to put them for 
twelve hours, more or less, in water with a little salt and some 
cornmeal, in order to remove as much sand as possible, 
or they may be cleaned by rinsing through several waters. 
The necks of the smaller varieties are edible and when chop- 
ped or mashed can be added to the chowder, souffle, etc. To 
ensure freeing the juice from the sand it can be settled in 
several pots, straining it each time through cheesecloth and 
taking care not to pour off the sandy dregs. To remove clam 
from shell, scrub shells well and steam over a very small 
amount of water in order that the juice may not be diluted.

MUSSELS «*■ -" <* J" 

Sea mussels are as nutritious and wholesome as clams or 
oysters and are considered by some to be superior in flavor. 
They are the most easily digested of foods. 

Dead or stale mussels should not be used. If gathering 
them oneself, take the mussels from the rocks at low tide, and 
not during a spell of hot weather, which, if they are exposed 
at low tide to its effect may kill them. The mussels are alive 
if the shells are tightly closed. Until ready to use, keep cov- 
ered with a damp cloth in a cool dark place.

SJLT J1NT> SMOKET) FISH 

"Salt and smoked fish contain more nutriment, pound for 
pound, than when fresh. Salt fish must be freshened before 
use by soaking in water, flesh side down. Less freshening is 
required if the fish be boiled, than if fried or broiled. If very 
salty, the freshening process can be hastened by resting the 
fish in the water on a wire tray or on a few clean sticks, and 
if the pieces be thick, by making several deep incisions in the 
flesh."

MEATS CONSERVATION RECIPES 

MEATS 

Mrs. A. F. Pillsbury, Editor. 

Conservation must be the keynote in the use of meats as it 
is in the use of wheat, flour, sugar and fats. Less meat must be 
used ; and in the choice of cuts those should be selected that 
are not so suitable for transportation. This involves a freer 
ordering of the cheaper cuts which require longer and slower 
cooking, but are just as nutritious. If we comply strictly with 
Government orders we will use very little, if any, veal or lamb 
and no ham or bacon. 

Waste must be avoided in every way. To this end we 
must first of all be sure of the quality of the meat. 

Beef should be of smooth, fine grain, of a bright red color, 
and well covered with white fat. The fat should be abundant 
about the kidneys. 

Mutton should be firm, juicy, and red in color. 

The proper cooking of the different cuts and kinds of meat 
will also eliminate waste. Beef requires more heat in roasting 
than mutton. Frequent basting with the fat in the roasting 
pan is essential. 

For the cuts other than roasts casserole and fireless cook- 
ing are true conservation methods. 

PRIME ROAST BEEF * * <* * 

Sear the roast on both sides before a direct and very hot 
fire, or in a hot pan. Keep the oven at a good heat for fifteen 
minutes, then decrease somewhat. Fifteen minutes to the 
pound is an average allowance. If a very rare roast is de- 
sired allow less time. Add no salt until the first half hour's 
roasting. Baste often. 

PORTERHOUSE STEAK J* * ■* & 

Use the broiler of the gas oven, or the coals of an open 
fire, at top heat. Expose the steak to the direct heat and sear 
on both sides as quickly as possible. A thick steak will cook 
in fifteen minutes ; a thin one in ten. Serve at once with salt 
and butter on a very hot platter. Individual plates must also 
be hot.

Mrs. Harold W. Fairbanks, Editor. 

To aid the Food Administration use freely fresh and home- 
preserved and dried vegetables and very little of the commer- 
cial, dried and canned commodity. 

Baked or steamed vegetables retain all their valuable 
properties. 

When boiling vegetables never throw away the water ; boil 
down, if necessary, and save the liquor. This can be added 
to almost any soup, or it can be made into a delicious and 
nourishing soup by the addition of left-overs from gravies, 
vegetables, cereals, etc., and a little thickening. The proper 
seasoning of a soup of this kind is important.

BREADS 

Mrs. Franklin P. Nutting, Editor. 

CONSER VA 7707V HINTS 

HOW TO SAVE WHEAT— In making bread save wheat 
by substituting other cereals such as barley, rice or corn flour 
for a part of the white flour. The use of whole wheat or gra- 
ham flour saves very little wheat. Watch wastes. Cut bread 
at the table. Use all crumbs and stale bread in some way. Re- 
frain from using toast as a garniture under meat and veg- 
etables unless it is wholly used when served in this way. 
Find some way to avoid the waste of sandwiches in school 
lunches. 

When using cornmeal in yeast bread, the best results are 
obtained when the meal and water, or meal and milk, sweet 
or sour, are heated together in a double boiler, without stir- 
ring, for ten or fifteen minutes. There will be no lumping, 
and the bread will have a better flavor, will be more moist, 
and holds together better. 

BREAT) MJKING 

SHORTENING— Shortening may be lard, beef fat, cot- 
tonseed oil, or any of the ordinary fats used in cooking. 

YEAST — When in good condition, compressed yeast is 
soft yet brittle, and is the same color throughout — a creamy 
white. It should have no odor, except that of yeast, which is 
hard to describe, but familiar to most housewives. 

Yeast dough should be kept covered while rising, other- 
wise a crust will form on top and interfere with the expansion. 

When bread is allowed to rise over night, one-quarter of a 
yeast cake to each pint of liquid used in the mixing is suffi- 
cient. Bread mixed and baked during the day requires a 
whole yeast cake to a pint of liquid. Bread mixed and baked 
in the daytime may be kept at a uniform temperature while 
it is rising by setting the bowl containing the dough in a pan 
of water and keeping the water at a uniform temperature of 
from 95 to 100 degrees. Or use the fireless cooker. 

Good yeast bread should rise to be twice its kneaded bulk. 
If pans containing loaves ready for the second rising are put 

Page Ninety 



BREADS CONSERVATION RECIPES 

in too hot a place while rising, a heavy streak will be found 
near the bottom of the loaf. 

If bread has risen too long it will be full of holes ; if not 
long enough, it will be heavy and soggy. 

BAKING — Bake bread in a moderate oven. Bread should 
continue to rise for the first fifteen minutes it is in the oven, 
then it should begin to brown, and continue browning for the 
next twenty minutes. The last fifteen minutes should finish 
the baking, when less heat may be used. 

Remove loaves from the pan and place side down to cool. 
If a crisp crust is desired, allow bread to cool without cover- 
ing; if a soft crust, cover with a towel during cooling. 
When cool put in a tin box or stone jar and cover closely to 
keep the bread fresh. Never keep bread wrapped in a cloth 
as the cloth will absorb the moisture and give the bread an 
unpleasant taste. Bread tins or jars should be washed and 
scalded twice a week, or oftener, to prevent the bread from 
moulding. 

USES FOR STALE BREAD 

There is probably more bread wasted than any other food. 
Although bread may be dry and uninviting for ordinary pur- 
poses, it holds the same nutritive value as when fresh, and 
can be used in a dozen different ways. 

All bread crumbs left on the plates or bread board or in the 
bread jar, and many broken pieces not suitable for toast, and 
any crusts or trimmings of toast, should be carefully collected 
and dried (not browned) in a moderate oven. They should 
then be pounded in a mortar or rolled on a bread board, and 
put away in tight covered dishes in a dry place. These will 
be useful in covering anything which is to be dipped in egg 
and crumbs and then fried. Bread crumbs brown better than 
cracker crumbs, and are much cheaper, being made from mate- 
rial that is usually thrown away. If necessary these may be 
sifted through a coarse sieve. 

Dried bread crumbs should not be used for bread pudding 
or scalloped dishes, as they absorb too much moisture. Stale 
bread crumbs that are not dried in the oven, but are made 
from odds and ends of stale bread, crumbled finely or grated 
on a coarse grater, are preferable for meat or fish stuffing, 
bread puddings, bread sauce, bread griddle cakes, scalloped 
fish, etc.

QUICK BREAKS 

Try substituting corn flour for one-third of the white flour 
in any baking powder biscuit or bread recipe. Graham, bran, 
barley, rye or any other dark flour may be substituted in the 
same way. 

In many common recipes sour milk may be substituted for 
sweet milk. One pint of thick sour milk will require a level 
teaspoonful of soda to neutralize it. If more is added, a por- 
tion of the soda will not be neutralized, and after baking it will 
give an unpleasant taste and odor, and a greenish color. If 
milk is sour, but not thick, the best results are obtained by add- 
ing half the quantity of soda, and then adding to the mixture, 
just before it is baked, a level teaspoonful of baking powder. 
Sour cream will take the place of both butter and milk. But- 
termilk may be substituted for sour milk, provided it is sour.

COMPOSITION OF OLEOMARGARINE ^ <* * <* 

(From United States Department of Agriculture Bulle- 
tin No. 469). 

The principal fats used in the manufacture of oleomargarine 
are oleo oil, neutral lard, cottonseed oil and other oils. These 
fats, which must be pure and carefully prepared, are thorough- 
ly mixed and then churned with milk or sometimes cream. 
Owing to the ease with which a highly colored oleomargarine 
might be sold as butter it is illegal to sell it unless plainly 
marked, and the practice of coloring it to imitate butter is 
discouraged by a heavy tax. It is a wholesome fat.

EXCHANGE VALUE OF FATS <* <* «* <* 

1 tablespoon of oleomargarine, commercial fat compound, 
clarified chicken fat, goose fat, clarified beef and mutton fat 
is equal to 1 tablespoon of butter. 

14^ tablespoons of hardened vegetable fat is equal to 16 
tablespoons of butter. 

HOW TO COOK WITH FATS •* «* «* •* 

BREADS — Fats may be omitted entirely if desired. Use 
clarified pork or beef fat, oleomargarine, hardened vegetable 
fats, fat compounds. 

HOT BREADS — As biscuits, muffins, pancakes. Use clar- 
ified pork or beef fat, oleomargarine, hardened vegetable fats, 
fat compounds, sour cream. 

CAKES — As cookies, cup, chocolate, spice, ginger. Use 
clarified beef fat, chicken fat, pork fat, hardened vegetable 
fats, oleomargarine, fat compounds, sour cream, grated choco- 
late. 

PUDDINGS — Use clarified beef fat, chicken fat, oleomarg- 
arine, sour cream, chopped suet. 

PASTRY — If pastry is used let it be plain, not rich. Use 
hardened vegetable fats, oleomargarine, fat compounds. 

SAUTfiING — Use vegetable oils, clarified beef fat, pork 
fat, chicken fat, savory fats. 

TO CLARIFY — Heat any sweet drippings from beef, pork, 
mutton, with boiling water, stirring constantly. When the 
fat and water has boiled freely, set dish aside to cool. Remove 
cold fat and heat again to drive out all water. Put in crock 
for use.

CAKES CONSERVATION RECIPES 

CAKES AND ICINGS 

Mrs. Charles W. Merrill, Editor. 

In making cakes and icings we must conserve wheat, sugar 
and dairy products in every possible way. Eliminate all 
waste, substituting other products for those needed by our 
Allies, wherever possible. 

CONSERVE WHEAT — If each person consumes one 
pound less per week than usual, we can feed our Allies. As 
many will not or cannot make this change, those who are en- 
listed for this service should do much more. 

Substitute as freely as possible, rice, barley, corn, rye, oats 
and cottonseed. 

CAKE FLOUR — Cake flour may be made by adding one 
package of cornstarch to five pounds of white flour. Sift three 
times and store in tin or glass, ready for use. Satisfactory re- 
sults may also be obtained by substituting equal portions of 
cornstarch and flour. 

CONSERVE SUGAR — If the use of white sugar seems 
necessary, ask for beet sugar, a local product, and so relieve 
transportation congestion. Substitute honey, maple, corn 
syrup (glucose), molasses, or brown sugar. 

Cakes made with honey, will keep until the butter is rancid. 
If made without butter, will keep indefinitely. Honey icing 
has the same advantage. Honey does not need heating, boil- 
ing or skimming. Its sweetening power is about the same as 
sugar, but it contains more water. There is very little adult- 
erated honey on the market. — Farmers Bulletin, 653. Honey 
and its uses in the Home. 

CONSERVE DAIRY PRODUCTS— Eliminate waste by 
buying whole milk. Take off the top instead of buying sepa- 
rate cream. Use skim milk, sour milk and buttermilk in cook- 
ing. 

SUGGESTIONS 

Use less milk or water when substituting cream. 

If less shortening is used, use less flour. 

In high altitudes use less baking powder and shortening. 

Coarse sugar makes a heavy, crusty cake. 

Too much flour will cause cake to crack. 

Coarse cake is caused by insufficient beating. 

Page One Hundred Forty-one 



CONSERVATION RECIPES CAKES 

Lay a cold wet cloth on outside of cake pans before re- 
moving from the pans ; this contracts the metal and loosens the 
cake. 

A tin grater will rub off burned edges or surfaces. 

A spatula will be found invaluable for scraping out spoons, 
cups and bowls and for removing cake from pans. 

MIXING 

Have ready everything named in the recipe and all uten- 
sile before beginning to mix. 

Mixing bowls and flour, sugar and liquids should not be 
too cold. 

Have squares of paper cut a convenient size to hold sugar 
and flour. 

Sift flour before measuring. 

When creaming butter or fat, the bowl should be warm, or 
about a tablespoon of warm water added to hasten the cream- 
ing. Always cream the butter, add sugar gradually. 

Add a little flour before any liquid to prevent curdling. 

Add beaten yolks ; beat in thoroughly. 

Stir in flour and liquid alternately. 

Last, add beaten whites folded in lightly. 

BJKMCG 

Have oven ready to regulate before beginning a cake. Thin 
or small cakes need a hotter oven than loaves. Fruit cakes re- 
quire slow cooking. When baking any large cake a slow, even 
heat may be secured by lining the inside of the pan with sev- 
eral thicknesses of paper. Cover the top with paper also. 
Grease pans with unsalted fat. 

Baking time should be divided into four periods : 

1st quarter, rising. 

2nd quarter, finish rising, begin to brown. 

3rd quarter, finish browning lightly. 

4th quarter, all simmering sound of the cake should stop ; it 
should shrink a little from the sides of the pan and settle a very 
little. 

Do not suddenly jar or chill a cake ; set gently in a warm 
place to cool slowly. 

If oven is too cool, cake will be very coarse. 

If too hot, cake will form an uneven loaf. 

All sponge cakes require a cool oven.

CAKES CONSERVATION RECIPES 

ANGEL CAKE <* * <* <* 

1 cup sugar. 1 tsp. cream tartar. 

}i cup flour. Y\ tsp. salt. 

8 whites of eggs. 1 tsp. vanilla. 

Sift flour and sugar separately several times. Beat whites 
until frothy, then add cream tartar, continue beating until 
stiff. Add sugar gradually, and flour mixed with salt. Bake 
fifty minutes in slow oven, preferably in pan that has never 
been greased. Some prefer to add half the cream of tartar to 
the eggs and half to the flour. M. MILLER. 

To vary this recipe in several delicious ways 

1. Sprinkle the top with brown sugar before baking, mak- 
ing a macaroon crust. 

2. Sprinkle bottom of pan with preserved cherries, chop- 
ped walnuts, chopped raisins or peel, then pour in the cake 
mixture. 

3. Add chocolate or cocoa, about 1 tablespoon, moistened 
with a very little warm water, making a dark cake, or marble 
cake. Bake in muffin tins and frost with chocolate. Bake 
in layers and use any filling. 



THREE EGG ANGEL CAKE >* * * * 

1 cup sugar. 1 cup milk. 

1 cup flour. 3 eggs. 

3 tsp. baking powder. 1 pinch of salt. 

Sift the first four ingredients four times. Add the milk, 
heated to boiling point ; beat well and add flavoring. Fold in 
lightly the egg, whites, beaten to a stiff froth. 

Bake in angel food cake tin (with hole in center) until it 
does not adhere to straw. Have oven very hot until cake has 
risen ; then cool gradually until cake is done. Leave in the 
pan and turn at once upside down to cool.

A SIMPLE TEST TO USE IN JELLY MAKING 

(Recommended by the Bureau of Chemistry, United States 
Department of Agriculture). 

To determine how much sugar should be used with each 
kind of juice, put a spoonful of juice into a glass and add to it 
one spoonful of 95 per cent grain alcohol and mix by shaking 
the glass gently. 

Pour slowly from the glass, noting how the PECTIN — 
the substance in fruits, which makes them JELL — is precip- 
itated. 

If the pectin is precipitated as one lump, a cup of sugar 
may be used for each cup of juice; if in several lumps, the 
proportion of sugar may be reduced to approximately three- 
fourths of the amount of juice. If the pectin is not in lumps, 
but is merely precipitated, the sugar should be one-half or less 
of the amount of juice. 

If the juice shows no precipitation under the test, it is 
unsuitable for jelly making, and must be combined with apple 
juice or orange pectin, or other juices rich in pectin.

THE REASON FOR THE RAISIN 

By THOMAS J. ALLEN, M. D., D. O. 

Author of "Scientific Food Preparation," "Children's Diet," etc. 



Raisins or other supply of grape sugar, which is very different 
from cane sugar; should be much more largely used by children and 
by adults especially who suffer front weakness of the heart and who 
are called upon for quick and rapid nfuscular movement and for mus- 
cular endurance. It has been observed that mountain climbers have 
found raisins most suitable food. 

As a source of energy and heat, raisins are far superior to bread, 
which means that they are far superior in that rcs-peci to any other 
food. 

Children should be given no candy. The raisin is the best 
supply of the grape sugar that is so readily utilized in the child's 
muscular activities. 

With nuts, the raisin forms an ideal combination, a perfect diet, 
under ordinary conditions, for the adult. Although ivhole wheat 
bread, with raisins would be regarded as incomplete, on account of 
the deficiency in fat, I have proved it in my own case to be a perfect 
ration. 

To Prepare: Pour boiling water over raisins and let them stand 
for five minutes. Then put in a colander and wash with cold water. 
Then let stand in eold water for twelve hours.

CASWELL'S COFFEE— FROM TREE TO CUP 



|m i in r - - ----■■- - f- 

Drink Caswell's Coffee j 

"The Coffee You Drank at the Exposition" 

COFFEE TREE SHRUB grown from seed into small plant, | 

which, transplanted, develops into a bush or tree from 7 I 

to 16 feet high, producing a crop in 4 to 5 years. Leaves ] 

resemble Laurel in form, with star-like blossoms suggestive of i 

Jasmine, which fill the air with fragrance. Then follows clus- I 

ters of green cherries, which color bright red as they ripen and | 

become bouquets of ripe fruit in 6 months from time of flow- | 

i- ering. The cherries each contain two coffee beans, and shrivel | 

and dry as time for picking approaches. Coffee when ripe is | 

I placed in baskets and transported to drying grounds. Outer | 

I covering of coffee berry is a tough hull, and under this is a i 
1 pulpy material with an inside thin skin. 

In the roasting process of Caswell's coffee the berries swell ] 

up by the liberation of gases within their substances, the aro- | 

matic oils contained in their cells are cooked and made ready I 

for immediate solution with boiling water. Timing the roast j 

! and manipulating the fire are necessary to a perfect develop- ? 

. ment of the aroma and flavor. Geo. W. Caswell Co. employ i 
I only expert coffee roasters and blenders. 

The drinking quality is largely dependent upon the experi- j 

j ence and knowledge of the coffee roaster. Geo. W. Caswell Co. | 

1 use only scientific methods and the latest modern machinery. I 

I The true strength and flavor of roasted coffee is ground out, j 

j not boiled out; the finer the grind the more thoroughly are the j 

s cells opened and aromatic oils made ready for separation from i 

I their husks. The aromatic oils constitute the whole true flavor. | 

Caswell's coffee is useful as an aid to digestion. It is more j
